Terms of Service

1. Introduction and Acceptance of Terms

Welcome to Appsicle ("the App," "we," "us," or "our"), a Shopify application designed to help Shopify store owners display their Instagram feed on their e-commerce store. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Appsicle application and its related services. By installing, accessing, or using the App, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must not use our App.

These Terms apply to all users of the App, including merchants who install the App on their Shopify stores.

2. Instagram Integration and Data Usage

2.1 Instagram Authorization

To use the core functionality of the App, which involves displaying your Instagram feed, you will need to authorize the App to connect to your Instagram account. This authorization process is facilitated through Meta's (Facebook/Instagram) platform. By authorizing, you grant the App permission to access specific data from your Instagram account necessary for the App's functionality.

2.2 Scope of Data Access

The App requests access to your public Instagram profile information and media (photos and videos). We only access the data required to display your Instagram feed on your Shopify store. We do not access private messages, follower lists (unless explicitly required for display features and clearly stated), or other sensitive information beyond what's necessary for the App's stated purpose.

2.3 Compliance with Instagram Policies

Your use of the App is also subject to Instagram's own Terms of Use and Platform Policies. You are solely responsible for ensuring your Instagram account and content comply with Instagram's policies. We are not responsible for any actions taken by Instagram regarding your account or content due to your use of our App.
